Lionel Messi is giant not only because of what he does on the field, but also because of his great human quality. However, his figure has such an impact that he also makes other people happy without knowing it beyond the joys of his own that he gives his fans every time he plays a match. This was the case of an amateur soccer player who was able to save her career thanks to Messi, without him knowing.

This is Amanda Libre, a player from New Jersey who recently suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in her right leg. Not belonging to a professional club, the cost of the operation and her recovery treatment had to be paid for herself, but thanks to Messi she was able to get the money she so badly needed. Now, how did Leo indirectly help this footballer?

It turns out that Amanda had a ticket for the game between the New York Red Bulls and Inter Miami, scheduled for August 28, which had cost her no more than $22. However, when the signing of the top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7) for Las Garzas was finalized, prices skyrocketed and the American sold that same ticket for $455. “Many thanks to Lionel Messi for paying for my surgery,” she wrote on her Twitter account along with a photo of the sold ticket.

What did Amanda say about the missed chance to see Messi?

"I already had the opportunity to see Messi play twice, so it was stressful for me to know that there are so many people desperate for a ticket," the player, who spent time in Argentina and learned to speak the language.
